❤️🤍🖤 Happy 64th Independence Day, Trinidad & Tobago!

Today we celebrate our people, our culture, our stories and the spirit that makes us uniquely Trinbagonian. 🇹🇹

One people. One nation. One love. ‼️

As we celebrate 64 years of Independence, we’re taking a little trip back to FFF4, where we honoured Trinidad & Tobago’s 60th anniversary through 1962: Strength in Stories. Celebrating the people, culture, creativity and stories that continue to shape us.

From filmmakers and artists to storytellers, supporters and everyone who showed up to share in the experience, FFF4 was a reminder that our history lives in the stories we tell and the communities we build around them.

Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come, while continuing to look forward and tell the stories of who we are.

Happy Independence Day, Trinidad & Tobago. ❤️🖤🤍

What happens when filmmakers are pushed beyond the camera and into the world of strategy, teamwork, pitching and problem-solving? 🎬
